American Heavy Metal Weekend

The Japanese are buying up on guitars
Invade our beaches, driving cars
Hondas, Toyotas, Insuzurus
Fight 'em, beat 'em, got a lot to lose

Fenders, Gibsons, stack 'em high
Stack 'em up against the sky
Speakers blasting, blasting in vans
Make them wish they didn't land

One, two, three...
It's an American heavy metal weekend
It's an American heavy metal weekend

The English, sure we'll give 'em a break
With their Hiwatts and their Marshalls
It started here make no mistake
It's always real and never fake

Platform boots and puffy hair
Gotta raise and scare
Metal merchants peddle their wares
No U.S. made buyer, beware

One, two, three...
It's an American heavy metal weekend
It's an American heavy metal weekend

Ratt, Dokken
Quiet Riot, Mötley Crüe
Twisted Sister, dudes...

What I want is what I need
Made here in the U.S.A.
Never ashamed, always proud
Always hard, always loud

Amplifiers vibrate across the globe
Send those rats back in their holes

One, two, three...
It's an American heavy metal weekend
It's an American heavy metal weekend

It's an American heavy metal weekend
It's an American heavy metal weekend

Blue Öyster Cult, Van Halen
Kiss, Sammy Hagar
W.A.S.P., YMG
Don't forget... Ted Nugent
